Objective

I'm interested in disruptive technologies and/or management teams, breakthrough communication techniques, and measurably moving the needle (whether it's leads, revenue, profitability, employee retention or customer satisfaction). As such, I'm seeking an opportunity to partner with a whip smart, passionate and energized executive staff ready to break through the market clutter with a new product, initiative or service offering, preferably in the software (SaaS), internet technology or entertainment space.

I drive results. Results that matter for a marketing executive: I have a proven track record of disruptive and breakthrough marketing campaigns that increase leads and revenue, establish defensible positioning and garner market share. In fact, I’ve created marketing strategies that have won business from companies like Cisco, HP, Intel, Oracle, AT&T and many others.

I’m an entrepreneur who has built and sold award-winning software products, recruited and trained professional, motivated teams, and raised capital.

If this brief description of my experience is all interesting, we should talk. While I’m proud of my latest venture, growth capital has been hard to come by, and I’m pursuing more long-term options. By the way, you can visit my latest venture here: www.6connex.com.
